Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.2:
+ OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
+
+ - Please note that the 2-line footer (output when verbose) now uses the
+ term "sent" instead of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If
+ you are not parsing the numeric values out of this footer, a script
+ should be better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the
+ indicator that the verbose output is over.
+
+ - The output from the --stats option was similarly affected to change
+ "written" to "sent" and "read" to "received".
+
+ - Made sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
+ each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes sure that
+ a filename can't span multiple lines nor cause an empty line to be
+ output).
+
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
"vanished".
+ - The --copy-links (-L) option no longer has the side-effect of telling
+ the receiving side to follow symlinks. See the --keep-dirlinks
+ option (mentioned below) for a way to specify that behavior.
+
- Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
help).
- When the remote rsync dies, make a better effort to recover any error
- messages it may have sent instead of just dying with a write error
- trying to send data over the socket.
+ messages it may have sent before dying (the local rsync used to just
+ die with a socket-write error).
- When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
- Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
+ - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
+ can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
+ This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
+ AIX and HP-UX.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --partial-dir=DIR option that lets you specify where to
are also cases where this is more efficient (such as appending data).
Use only when needed (see the man page for more details).
- - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
+ - Added the "write only" option for the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
and documented all these options in the man page.
presence in the list of available modules), a user that fails to
authenticate gets the same "unknown module" error that they would get
if the module were actually unknown (while still logging the real
- error to the daemon's log file). This prevents fishing for modules
+ error to the daemon's log file). This prevents fishing for module
names.
+ - The daemon's "refuse options" config item now allows you to match
+ option names using wildcards and/or the single-letter option names.

INTERNAL:
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
- Optimized away a loop in hash_search().
- - Make sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
- each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes parsing
- the verbose output via script more dependable).
-
BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
